“Hillary Clinton began the race with all sorts of advantages, but she and her advisers never grasped how much had changed.” A nice summary of the reasons why Obama was able to overtake Hillary, despite her being the obvious choice. Visit site »

Hillary argued that Memphis had passed every test during the game, including scoring more points than Kansas for 38 minutes. For 38 minutes they had shown the experience necessary to be National Champion. “Just because some team comes along in the last minute and scores more points than the other guy doesn’t mean they’re necessarily able to be National Champion on Day One,” she said.

You’d better vote for the person that wants you to think and hope.

Despite the heated back-and-forth over the last few months, Clinton Wednesday hinted that she would be open to a Clinton-Obama ticket in the fall. “Well, that may, you know, be where this is headed,” Clinton told CBS Wednesday. “But, of course, we have to decide who’s on top of the ticket…”

Glad to hear it. I’d hate to see the two beat each other up so much over the course of the primaries that they can’t work together in the end. I’d definitely vote for a Clinton/Obama ticket (though I’d be much happier voting for an Obama/Clinton one). Visit site »

Via Wilson. Funny stuff. Oh, and, for the record: Election is one of the most underrated comedies of the past ten years. Love that film. Visit site »

I’ve got a client meeting at 1:30 tomorrow, but I might try to swing by the Obama event before I head into the office, as it’s two blocks from my house. Native Washingtonians seem excited that our primaries and caucuses actually matter this year, as usually a front-runner is already in place by this time. For me, I’m interested in getting involved for the first time ever, for three reasons:

1. There is actually a candidate (Obama) I feel I can really support (and another, in Hillary, that I like fairly well, also). This hasn’t happened since Ross Perot in ‘92, which was the last time I really got involved in an election (albeit a mock election at my high school) — and that was a wasted vote, anyway.
2. This year, I’d be voting in a state where a democratic votes actually matters. Kansas has historically been such a red state that it’s never seemed worth the effort (although there’s some evidence of a leftward shift starting to happen in Kansas).
3. I’m just finally fed up enough with the current administration to care.

So, if I have the time, you might see me at KeyArena tomorrow, and if I’m eligible to caucus on Saturday despite not being registered or having a valid ID in Washington, you might find me there, as well. Visit site »
